    Pictures - Macbook Pro battery gives up - Breaks apart

    This horrific sight you are looking at is not rare at all. This particular pic showed up an Engadget today, and it depicts a bloated Macbook Pro battery that was close to exploding. They alone have covered at least 4 cases of this, and this also is happening in PC's too.

    The story behind this one is as follows: a 17-inch (non-unibody) Macbook Pro owner was using his machine on a desk (thank god), when suddenly an odd noise began to increase in volume, following that, the entire machine "hopped up" slightly and turned off, and this battery is to blame. So as you are reading this with your laptop on your lap, we recommend you put on some blast shield boxers.
